Love Earthdesk

This has to be one of my favourite programs, just because I can see in real-time near what time of day / night any part of the world is in, as its my desktop background. Makes this communicating across the world thing much easier, let me just say that.

Wow! That looks amazing Anthony. I'm gonna send the link to my Geologist Son, he'll really like that.:) Thanks for sharing. x

That is sweet. I already downloaded it. I actually like it a bit more without the clouds because it's a little easier to see.

I'm going to send it to all my techno-geek-o-tronic friends. (I just made that word up but it fits!)

Yer, when Nicolette seen it I had to install it on hers as well. Good to have Mac... I like the real-time version with cloud, because its good to see where is crappy and where is sunny, all by looking at the desktop.

I think I have mine updating every half hour, instead of 5 minutes, which I found annoying. I find it amazing to quickly see rough times of places by dark or light, and where the dark edge is on the map based on rough location of a country.

Certainly makes it real easy for me viewing the two main areas from forum usage, being USA and UK.

New York is just waking up and the sun rising as I write this... California is still dark, early morning am.
